Video of the 10 minute brawl at minor league baseball game: ...The 17 ejections that were handed down following the brawl, which lasted about 10 minutes. pitcher Julio Castillo then threw a pitch close to Brandon Menchaca's head which prompted Dayton manager Donnie Scott to leave the third base coaching box and complain to home plate umpire Tyler Wilson. That prompted interim Peoria manager Carmelo Martinez to join the conversation, which quickly became heated, and when Martinez pushed Scott, the benches emptied. Several fights broke out behind home plate, and Castillo threw a ball that sailed into the stands behind the Dragons' dugout, hitting a fan who had to be taken to a hospital. Menchaca jumped on Castillo and eventually both managers and 15 players — including eight Dragons — were ejected from the game. .... Within 45 minutes after the ejections were announced, they were reversed after the Class A Midwest League office heard what happened from the umpires. The ejections were reversed because the teams did not want pitchers to play the outfield positions, which would have occurred had the ejections stuck.
The pitcher Castillo was arrested at the park and faces felonious assualt charges!!!!
